Hangout for experimental confirmation and demonstration of software, computing, and networking. The exercises don't always work out. The professor is a bumbler and the laboratory assistant is a skanky dufus.

TROST: Open-System Trustworthiness

Bring us Your Metadata, Your Tired, Your Poor, Your Abandoned Document Formats

ACM News Service: Permanent Record.  I am interested in preservation of digital content and metadata schemes, so my eye landed on this one.  But not enough to clip it in this blog. Oh wait.  They are proposing a generic framing scheme that is operational (now)? and also good for archiving later.  Hey, I'm building a little reference implementation for a document-management repository as a feasibility demonstration of how TROSTing can be done.  So I need a preservable metadata format for the goodies. I haven't figured out how Champollion figures strongly in this setting except as a remarkable example of what it takes to decipher an older-than-legacy data format.  David Braue's 2005-03-29 article in Australia's CIO magazine spins the tail and also provides links to the AGLS specifications for the metadata wrapping.  There is also discussion of the other record-management standards that can apply and a boost for the Xena open-source content-abstraction project.  There are some chewy goodies here for us document-management geeks.
